Hello All,
Although applications
are coming in I wanted to let you know that it's still possible to register for
our Second International Advanced
Course called Public Communication
& Applied Ethics of
Nanotechnology we are organising on 23
- 28 September 2007 at St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, UK.
This is an intensive training
course for all those who are working in
nanotechnology with an interest of
its public communication and ethical implications.
The course consists of an alternating
programme of expert lectures, case studies, media training, role play, group
discussions and debate.
Course participants will acquire:
• knowledge
of the relevant ethical, legal and social aspects of nanotechnology
• skills
to communicate effectively with the media and the public
• understanding of
issues involved in the public acceptance of nanotechnology
This course is
organised by Nanobio-RAISE, a European Co-ordination Action bringing together
nano(bio)technologists, ethicists and communication
specialists with the aim of anticipating the societal and ethical issues likely
to arise as nanotechnology develops. For further information look at our website
www.nanobio-raise.org or send me an email ([log in to unmask]).
A grant for the registration fee may be available if needed.
Feel free to
distribute this message
widely!
With best regards, Susanne
Sleenhoff
